as the thakuras appear
you notice it's been a whole year
wait for one some call "red white and blue"
seamstress thought a red backdrop might
make everyone want to get up and scream
that provided the clue
to the name it was plain to see
when two tarked about ghee
this one would be "urvasi"
it's really been that long
leis maker came late
but using whole flowers
she reduced the hours
'cause of the petals she didn't fold
it didn't take long
cycle babble and i
are completely in tune
as easy knee performs at twelve o'clock noon
spinning our wheels on our way
letting out a stress curing sigh
seeing the gulls and racers fly
sponge the sloth from our eye
a tandem ridden by only one
must be only half as much fun
circling the trader's shop
there is no time to stop
treacherous triangle stealthily snuck through
cycle babbles"whatever you've got to do"
gotta be back before
thakuras rise
hammering the distance down to size
respecting ratha-bhojana-vrksa's domain
keeping pace with those who train
seeing the kusa grass
urges one last blast
leaves are the greeters
today all calf feeders
after sandhya
they dress for rest
"talking like a pirate"
about loving seva and how to aquire it
to be seen. in the sweet light of dawn
while the mangal arati is going on
removing our pain
replacing it with gain
the premes may make fun of you
cause you don't bungle with their flair
coming to a cup of hot stuff they take it all
while you're content with "haribol jal"
their clothes so creased they'll cut your hand
their group chants more names than yours
the thakuras there are jewel encrusted
while your's are simply elegant
there's worry if the offering is a little late
while murk says love isn't always on time
full rose leis so long the bells chime
and emotion flows at the highest rate
cycle babble and i spin away once more
between the drops of rain
hail haled blue sky from it's store
some cyclists in ponchos some in plastic bags
white caps down by the point
wind is rippling the flags
at the tennis park grey returns
so cycle babble and i must also
it's nearly four
open up the thakura's door
tall paul greets with a grin
knowing that the sandy is soon to begin
once upon a vyasa puja thakuras world round
wore blue yellow and red pictures found
synchronicity became this one's name
mangla arati may never be the same
